MATTHEW XIV. 31-46.

Orthodoxy still clings to Matthew XIV. 31-46
as authority for the doctrine of general
judgment and intending retribution. Not
one in fifty who holds to this Interpretation
has made careful examination of this
Scripture. To sat persons upon the right
hand (favor) implies that they were on the
left and vice versa. 1t is claimed by most
sects that a seat at the right hand can be
secured only by faith, repentance and obedi-
ence to the requirements of the gospel But
the reason for the blessed award does not in
clude these, not faith, repentance nor for
giveness. Read and stand rebuked--" Feed
the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the father
less and the widows in their affection, keep
unspotted from the world" | ask, what is a
foture judgment day for? Is it court to
correct former errors? What is endless pun
ishment for? Is it to do God good? Is it to
do the one punished good? Is it to do the
angels good? Is it to do the fellow creature
or the sufferer good2 Who will answer?

SEWERAGE.

Each day that passes over our heads
adds another link to the chain of evil
dence going to prove the great neces-
sity of sewerage system for our city,
and each day adds more and more to
the danger from the poisonous gases
generated by vaults and cess-pools
within the limits of ourc city. That this
is fact may easily be verified by any
one who will take the trouble to walk
through any of our alleys-even the
cleanest-where in many places the
stencil during this hot weather is almost
unbearable.
While Emporia may be classed among
the healthier cities, nevertheless the
startling fact remains that, like most
other Kansas cities, the great majority
of deaths are caused by typhoid, ma
larial and other fevers, caused by lack
of proper sewerage. That this asser-
tion is one well founded can not be sue
cessfully denied.
No person at all conversant with the
laws of hygiene viii dispute the argu-
ment that city of over 10000 popula-
ton, contained within the limits of one
square mile of territory, can find it
possible to retain reputation for
health in the absence of a sewerage
system, as it is impossible for the
filth that win naturally accumulate in

Becoming a Little weary.

ATCHIsoN, Kas., July 15.-The fol-
lowing letter which was to-day signed
by the Mayor and a number of other
prominent citizens has been forwarded
to William Henry Smith, General Man
ager of the Associated Press, Chicago.
1t explains itself and fully indicates
the letter of Governor Martin to Mr..
Smith. The undersigned have read
Governor Martins letter denying and
correcting certain false and misleading
statements embodied in special dis
patch sent to Chicago paper on July
End, and we fully endorse and sustain
the Governors statements. A local
dispute concerning methods of taxa
ton was as Governor Martin says the
only foundation for the malicious and
unthruthful dispatch from st Joe. The
gas, electric light and water supply
of Atchison have never been
cut off. Its fire department has been,
and is continually on duty. Its police
force has been largely reduced, but has
been and is ample to preserve the
citizens. In brief, every statement
embraced in Governor Martins letter
to the General Agent of the Associated
Press touching the municipal condition
of the City of AtchiSon, the CONNER
cial and manufacturing prosperity of
the city, its business, sits public i'm
provements, its police government, it's
gas and water supply and its fire de-
partment is perfectly truthful and ac-
Joseph had its origin in the
enmity and rivalry of Missouri
town is fully established by
the malignant and untruthful
dispatch sent from that place last
night concerning Governor Martins
letter. The extracts there paraded
from Atchison newspapers are garbled
and misleading. The articles thus
quoted from were discussions of the
very question to which the Governor
refers in his letter, viz, question
concerning a method of municipal
taxation for Atchison that had been
for many years adopted and enforced
in st. Joseph. The City of Atchison,
was never more prosperous than at the
present time. It's business, and es-
pecially its wholesale and manufacture
ing trade, during the present year, is
fully 80 per cent in excess of that for
the corresponding months of 1885.
Real estate sales in Atchison during
ceeded the aggregate for the previous
years combined. More costly and sub
stantial buildings are being erected
this year than during any previous year
in its history. The undersigned are
members of both parties, Republican
and Democratic. Very few of us are
Prohibitionists. This letter is there
fore written simply to vindicate the
truth and to testify against the malic-
ious, false and slanderous statements
sent out from st. Joe for tho purpose
of injuring a good name and affecting
the growth of this city. Signed by S.
S. Kelsey, Mayor, and hundreds of
others.

q city Of such proportions to find its
way out unless q proper sewerage is
provided.
Nature has done much for us in Civ
ing MS such a drainage as few cities
can boast Of. And to this natural
drainage we are undoubtedly indebted
for the large measure of health which
our city has heretofore enjoyed.
But, with the new system of water
works soon to be perfected, the call for
a system Of sewerage adequate to I'LL
all demands for cleanliness are more
imperative than ever.
Besides this, the greater utility and
use of the abundant supply of water we
shall have viii be curtailed unless we
have system of drainage. With such
system there is no reason why almost
every house in our city should not use
water for all purposes used in the
larger cities, and lack of water IN out
houses be the exception instead of the
rule.
The people of our city should agitate
this subject. The health of our wives
and children, and possibly their very
lives, depend upon this matter of drain
age. With it Emporia will undoubted-
ly be the most healty city in the world.
Without it, typhoid and other fevers
will run rampant, and the popu-
lation of our cemetery rapidly
increase. Even as it is, were all the
tombstones of victims of typhoid fever
in the cemetery painted or marked il
some noticeable way, the number would
undoubtedly create much comment
And this is not confined alone to En-
poria, but is everywhere, in a new ant
undeveloped country, the same.
And yet, we are given to understand
by the best medical authority in TN
land that this epidemic-if it may b
SO caIled-can be much abated, if no
entirely eradicated, by proper sanitar
precautions.
Readers, think over this and be pre-
pared to act when the time comes, a
it most certainly will soon.

rRER rRADE EALLAoY.


In connection with the free trade
doctrine as preached by the democracy,
and the advocacy thereof because Of an
overlooking treasury. the following
pertinent article from the Rochester
Democrat is certainly to the point:
Do the Democrats really want the
treasury relieved of its surplus2 Are
they honest In lamenting the fact that
a large sum OF money is withheld from
circulation among the people and lies
idle in the custody of the Government?
Are they sincerely deSirous OF slim
ulating business enterprises and facili-
tating commercial activities by releas-
ing this money? Or are all their pro-
fessions in this regard mere pretenseS,
under cover of which they seek to
strike at American Industries by
breaking down the protective tariff?
They have a great deal to say about
''war taxes" and the iniquitOus policy
of continuing them in time of peace.
They talk loudly of the surplus and
wickedness of allowing it to ac-
cumulate. But the only measure OF
relief they propose is in the direction of
free trade. They resolutely fix their
eyes and bend their energies in this di-
rection, and refuse to turn either to the
right or left. One would think that
the only way of preventing the event.
ual accumulation by the Government
of all the wealth in this country, was
by reducing or abolishing import duties
and letting down all barriers to an I'M
restrained inflow of foreign manu-
ufactures.
There is, however, source of accum-
ulatiOn entirely separate and distinct
from the tariff schedule. The internal
revenue receipts during the fiscal year,
which ended June 80, were S119, 135 ,447.
Now if any policy was ever devised
solely as war measure it was the
internal revenue system. 1t is in the
nature of direct tax, it involves sys-
TEN of espionage, and it supports q
small army of officeholderS. 1t was
never justified upon any other ground
than that of necessity. No one viii
claim that this necessity any longer eX
lists. Why not, then, largely reduce the
internal revenue taxes, or abolish then
altogether? Is it not strange that the
party in power never has made this
proposition? Assuming great learning
| ing the large and growing surplus
why have the Democrats not united in
an effort to sweep away this fruitful
source of incOnvenient accumulation
| 1t looks very much as if their rea
i purpose we're something very different
from what it is declared to be, and that
the design underlying their professions
and promises is a ruinous assault OF
American laborers and manufacturers
If this is not the case, why is an avail
able and simple remedy so completely
ignored, and why are all efforts al
legislation confined to policy which
would benefit alone the producers anC
manufacturers of the world? A hun
bred and nineteen millions of dollars il
a good deal of money. Yet the party
in power does not lift a finger to cut of
its flow into the Treasury, simply be
cause its policy is controlled by ;
league of Free Trade conspirators.

ROULANGER.

That the fall of the Bastile in France
can be celebrated in as peaceable and
quiet a manner as it was last
Thursday, under political circumstan-
ces so much calculated to inflame and
work upon the well-known mercurial
disposition of the French people, is an
episode in the history of republicanism
in France of undoubtedly great i'm
portance. 1t goes to show that, not
withstanding their great love of display
and the undoubted great popularity of
the idol of the day, Gen. Boulanger,
that the beauties and benefits of a gov
eminent of the people is finally becom-
ing so much appreciated that it will
take more than simple clamor to de-
the past.
If cable advices may be believed,
General Boulanger has shown himself
to be not only the idol of the people,
but man well worthy of being so, as
he proved himself a patriot by discour-
aging every demonstration in his name
calculated to show hostility to the gov
eminent, and thus not only made him.
self stronger with the people, but COM
manded the respect of all by showing
a willingness to obey where he possibly
might have commanded. 1t looks now
to an American view as if BoulangeI
might possibly be more of patriot than
he has been given credit for, and THAT

sonal ambition and fears of his attempt.

without any foundation except in the

a LOVING father who, at a summer
resort last season, had left behind him
four beautiful children, dead of diph-
liberia, said to me: ''That hotel pro-
prietor is as much murderer as though
he had shot my little ones" Yes, dear
sir, but you, the guardian, ought to
have been armed and equipped against
such foes. An hours intelligent ex-
animation of water supply and Grain
age at a proposed country home would
in large majority of cases prevent
the risk of such catastrophe, and
might be made before landlord could
object. Take in the dressing bag an
ounce vial of saturated solution of per-
manganate of potash, which any drug
gist will prepare for few cents, and

broadly speaking, unfit to drink: if not,
it is not especially harmful. If "a coun-

Friday afternoon at $50 an acct
dent happened at the crossing of West
Street and the railroad whereby VIM.
Heideman lost his life. Mr.. Heideman
was 65 years of age, and has been in
the employ of the Santa Fe
company for about eight years.
He was at work ON the
section and in getting off the track to
get out of the way of an east bound
stock train stepped ON side track just
as a switch engine with car of coal
and caboose were backing in on the
track. 1t was impossible for the en-
gineer TO stop, and he was run over,
cutting both legs off and cutting his
body in two, besides cutting his right
arm off at the shoulder. He was
also bruised about the head.
Death ensued instantly. The
car of coal was thrown from the track
caused by the jar. The engine and
both cars passed over his body. The
officials had the body taken up and inn
mediately taken to the undertaker's,
where it was attended to, and will be
taken to his home at 404 West Street.
The deceased leaves wife and twelve
children TO mourn his loss. One
daughter married lives in Iowa. Mrs.
William Soisby, Mrs. 81. Colder and
Mrs Henry Miller. of this city, are
children of his. besides two or three
sons married, and younger children at
home Mr.. Heideman was an old resi-
dent of this place and and was highly
respected by all who knew him.
The funeral took place to-day at 5.
O'Clock from the family residence and
was very largely attended by the friends
of the family.

IN referring to the excessive use made
ofthepardoning power of the president,
the San Francisco Post says:
The number of pardons issued by
President Cleveland is an indictment of
the courts ors the executive. Either
the courts have been in the habit of
sending innocent men to prison or the
president is letting a lot of criminals
loose ont the country. Both conclusions
are equally uncomfortable for the
public. From an experience of the
workings of the pardon bureau in this
state we may believe that the president
is the one at fault. II is a matter of
considerable difficulty to conyic. even
guilty men. IL Is eXtremely unlikely
that any such number Of innocent men
have been imprisoned as President
Cleveland has turned loose. The
